Keyboard Shortcuts
A good long time ago, there was a screencast of what you could do with FastScripts. Unfortunately, the screencast didn’t do it justice. The problem with doing a screen cast for an application/script launcher is that it is highly dependent on the applications and scripts that you have available. And, for the most part, this is not a tool that does things, it allows you to do things. So what do I have set up? Here is a sampling:
System Level
- iTunes control - Prev (F9), Play/Stop (F10), Next (F11)
- Ping GrowlTunes (Cmd-F10) - Ping GrowlTunes to re-show the current playing track.
Finder
- New Named Folder (Cmd-Shift-N) - Will suggest a name for a new folder (based on the selection), then move all of the files to that new folder
- Rename Files (Cmd-Shift-R) - Open the selected files with R-name
- Rotate Images (Cmd-Opt-R) - Rotate the selected images (a dialog asks clockwise or counter-clockwise)
- Move Files Up (Cmd-Shift-U) - Move the selected files to the parent folder.
- Move to Filename Folders - Move the selected files to folders based on a portion of the name.
- New Document (Cmd-Opt-N) - Create a new document of a type selected from a dialog. (Like a right click in windows.)
- View as Preview (Cmd-Shift-J) - Change to view by icon w/ large icons & show preview.
- View by Icon (Arranged by Name) (Cmd-Shift-1) - Changes to view by icon, sorted by name
- Slideshow in GraphicConverter (Cmd-Shift-D) - View the current folder as a slideshow in GraphicConverter
- Open Terminal Here (Cmd-Shift-T) - Open a Terminal session with the directory set to the current folder
- Mark Read (Cmd-T) - Mark the selected messages as read
- Mark Unread (Cmd-Shift-T) - Mark the selected messages as unread
iTunes
- Rename Files (Cmd-Shift-R) - Rename the currently selected files (based on the tag data)
- Organize Files (Cmd-Shift-O) - Move the currently selected files (based on the tag data)
Safari
- Open Text as New Tab (Cmd-Opt-T) - Opens a new tab with the selected text as the location
This is all I can come up with off the top of my head…and these are just ones with keyboard shortcuts. There are plenty of others that are just in the menu.
